The biography of Jane Digby, an ‘enthralling tale of a nineteenth-century beauty whose heart – and hormones – ruled her head.’ Harpers and QueenA celebrated aristocratic beauty, Jane Digby married Lord Ellenborough at seventeen. Their divorce a few years later was one of England s most scandalous at that time. In her quest for passionate fulfilment she had lovers which included an Austrian prince, King Ludvig I of Bavaria, and a Greek count whose infidelities drove her to the Orient. In Syria, she found the love of her life, a Bedouin nobleman, Sheikh Medjuel el Mezrab who was twenty years her junior.Bestselling biographer Mary Lovell has produced from Jane Digby’s diaries not only a sympathetic and dramatic portrait of a rare woman, but a fascinating glimpse into the centuries-old Bedouin tradition that is now almost lost.Note that it has not been possible to include the same picture content that appeared in the original print version.

Автор: Eric Newby

This book is a lush and beautiful memoir of a very special house and a superb recreation of a bygone era.In 1967, veteran travel writer Eric Newby and his heroic wife Wanda fulfiled their dream of a return to life in the Italian hills where they first met during World War II. But this fulfilment would not come easy. The dream materialised in the form of I Castagni ('The Chestnuts'), a small, decrepit farmhouse with no roof, an abandoned septic tank and its own indigenous wildlife reluctant to give up their home. But in the foothills of the Apuan Alps on the border of Liguria and Northern Tuscany, this ramshackle house would soon become a hub of love, friendship and activity.Whether recounting dangerous expeditions through Afghanistan or everyday life in a country house, Newby's talent shines through as one of the foremost writers of the comic travel genre. Full of Newby's sharp wit and good humour, ‘A Small Place’ in Italy returns, twenty years later, to the life of Newby's much-cherished classic, Love and War in the Apennines. It lovingly recounts the quickly disappearing lifestyle of the idiosyncratic locals, and the enduring friendships they forge, whether sharing in growing their first wine harvest as novices or frying poisonous mushrooms for a feast.

Автор: Adeline Mah Yen

The author of the international bestsellers Watching the Tree and Falling Leaves has always been fascinated by proverbs and their importance and use in China. Both her book titles are based on such proverbs.The majority of Chinese proverbs are drawn from the 1st century, when the First King of all China established his leadership over the whole country and its warring kingdoms. In ancient China, a scholar's conversation would be studded with appropriate sayings, and a man's status in society would be defined by his use and knowledge of proverbs. In modern China, much of this is still true, and proverbs are used daily.Adeline Yen Mah introduces us to the whole rich picture of the first century BC when after the long wars between states, China was finally united and the richness of the literature and art could flourish. She portrays the leaders, the plots and the counter-revolutions with great vividness and liveliness so that even those ignorant of Chinese history become absorbed. And as in all her other books, she relates the historical episodes and the proverbs derived from these to experiences in her own life.One of the major expressions of this age was of course the First King's tomb with its terracotta soldiers, of horses and carriages and the stones of the building. The re-finding of this monument – now open to us all – and Adeline Yen Mah's own experiences there, are extraordinary.A Thousand Pieces of Gold, following Watching the Tree and Falling Leaves, is a personal account by a much loved author, but it is also a lively history of the fascinating period of civilisation when Europe was barely out of the stone age.

The true story of forbidden love in eighteenth-century Venice between an Italian noble and the brilliant, illegitimate daughter of an English baronet.In 1754 Andrea Memmo, the dashing and gifted scion of a distinguished catholic family, fell in love with illegitimate English beauty, Giustiniana Wynne. This match went against every convention of their day; it was an 'impossible love'.The lovers chased each other through peeling palazzos, ballrooms, salons, theatres and gambling dens, rubbing shoulders with legendary figures such as Canaletto and their friend, Casanova. Increasingly desperate, they decided Giustiniana should marry to conceal their relationship. A summer passed in flirting with the English Consul, Joseph Smith, but he soon saw through the deception and the affair became public.The consequences were disastrous. Casanova was imprisoned for his 'pernicious' influence. Disgraced, Giustiniana left for Paris, where she launched herself into society in the hunt for a new husband. Her love for Memmo had lingering consequences that were to break this match, and she left again for London, hoping to build a new life, but a different fate lay in store…Andrea di Robilant is Andrea Memmo’s great great great grandson. The idea to write A Venetian Affair was planted when his father discovered Andrea's letters to Giustiniana mouldering in the attic of the family's crumbling Venetian palazzo. His father's violent murder inspired di Robilant to fulfil his father's dream to write about the lovers, and this fascinating, romantic tale is the result of di Robilant’s dedication and passion.Note that it has not been possible to include the same picture content that appeared in the original print version.

A historical novel set in Tuscany in the 18th century, during the enlightened government of Pietro Leopoldo of Hapsburg Lorraine. Autobiographical memories of the Grand Duchess Maria Luisa, his wife and confidante. “Vienna 1792. Maria Ludovica of Bourbon, the Spanish Infanta, for many years Grand Duchess of Tuscany and now Empress of the Holy Roman Empire, watches impotently the sudden death of her beloved consort, Pietro Leopoldo of Hapsburg, and from that moment begins almost frenetically to rekindle, one after the other, her innumerable memories of a life, still short, but intensely lived, beside the man who, since their first meeting had fascinated and conquered her, and to whom she had been a discrete and faithful companion. Public facts are weaved together with private feelings, with joys and suffering, in a sequence of urgent events. The Empress unconsciously knows, has always known, that she cannot survive for long (Editor’s note: she will in fact die just two months later) after the death of her husband and therefore must hurry to organise her memories, to finally manage to give an answer to the most important question for her: what did she really mean to him? Only a political and dynastic link, the mother of his children, friend and confidante or the woman he loved notwithstanding everything?”

Ihre neue globale Verantwortung haben sie bis heute nicht begriffen. Stattdessen sehen sie sich als Weltbeherrscher, die allem und jedem vorschreiben »d?rfen«, was er zu tun und zu lassen, was er zu glauben und zu denken hat.

Love history? Know your stuff with History in an Hour.Abraham Lincoln, the sixteenth president of the United States, is an American icon. To many, he is a symbol of values, sacrifice and determination. Modern notions of nationalism, liberty, and constitution all owe their debt to Lincoln, as does the unity of the American states. And yet, in his own day, Lincoln was also reviled by many as a traitor, tarnished by his associations with the wrong kind of race and the wrong end of society.Charting his ascent from humble origins to the leader of the United States during its hardest democratic and ethical conflict – the American Civil War – ‘Lincoln: History in an Hour’ is a succinct guide to the life of a great and controversial modernizer. Having educated himself and made good as a lawyer, he embarked on a journey that would see triumph in the abolition of slavery and then tragedy in the final drama of his own assassination. From his struggles as President to his family life and roles as husband, father and friend, this is the story of one of history’s greatest leaders.Love history?

Adixiones (con esa "x" que ya nos adelanta la dimensi?n del enigma, consustancial a la experiencia anal?tica desde sus or?genes) es un eslab?n m?s que se a?ade a la perseverancia de una transmisi?n.
Un libro que aborda problemas cruciales del psicoan?lisis, tanto en el plano de la elucidaci?n cl?nica de los sujetos tomados uno por uno, como en el del malestar contempor?neo de la civilizaci?n. Adelanto lo que en mi lectura encuentro: una manera de demostrar la imposibilidad estructural de la soledad.
Declinadas de formas variadas, este libro nos ense?a que el ser hablante no puede carecer jam?s de un partenaire. Es por esa raz?n que el punto de partida sea, en esta ocasi?n, la historia de un concepto que durante treinta a?os orient? una parte fundamental de la investigaci?n de nuestro autor: las toxicoman?as. Siguiendo la orientaci?n lacaniana, este libro no es un manual de consulta para quienes se confrontan habitualmente con sujetos vinculados a alguna manifestaci?n sintom?tica toxic?mana. Las toxicoman?as (es fundamental mantener el plural) fueron, tal como el propio autor lo expresa, un modo de comenzar a interrogarse acerca del lazo que une a un sujeto con un objeto que contraviene el sentido com?n del bien. Se trataba de indagar en ese parad?jica uni?n entre el sujeto y un objeto al que permanece adherido, no con el prop?sito de curar eso sino de descubrir su funci?n. O dicho de otro modo: en ausencia de toda concepci?n universal de cura, c?mo lograr que un sujeto consienta a introducir una m?nima distancia que haga posible una pregunta, una pregunta que lleva consigo la apuesta de transferir una acci?n compulsiva en apariencia gobernada por la inercia de la pulsi?n de muerte, a un plano diferente. Un plano en el que el objeto en cuesti?n revela un uso sintom?tico al servicio de otra cosa.
Esa otra cosa puede descifrarse de distintas maneras, seg?n los casos, pero lo decisivo es que cuando el sujeto es capaz de correr esa apuesta animado por el deseo del analista, esa uni?n con el objeto pude modificarse, o el objeto puede ser sustituido por otro, menos comprometido con los intereses de Thanatos. Lo interesante, y del mismo modo que en ocasiones sucede con otros s?ntomas, Sinatra nos proporciona distintos ejemplos cl?nicos en los que podemos apreciar que esa transformaci?n es posible cuando el analista toma de entrada la decisi?n de no convertir el fen?meno toxic?mano en el eje central y protag?nico de la cura.

Las adixiones son una suerte de Aufhebung hegeliana de las toxicoman?as a las que el psicoan?lisis ha prestado su escucha y su elucidaci?n. Es el descubrimiento de que cualquier objeto, conducta, acci?n humana, ideal, pr?ctica sexual, entretenimiento o locura puede convertirse en un partenaire con el que entablar un goce que se convierte en una fijaci?n (Fixierung, de acuerdo con el t?rmino alem?n empleado por Freud para referirse a uno de los avatares de la pulsi?n, y donde encontramos esa "x" que Sinatra introduce en su concepto). «Hemos propuesto el concepto de adixiones a partir de una deformaci?n del significante tradicional de „adicciones“ por considerar que este ?ltimo desconoce la causa real de la clasificaci?n que promueve. Con adixiones se?alamos la versi?n posmoderna de la toxicoman?a generalizada que se asienta en el valor adictivo (es decir: t?xico) del goce en s? mismo».
Esto no es algo exactamente nuevo. Lo nuevo, es que un discurso que ha venido a sustituir el saber del Padre (y aludimos aqu? al discurso universitario como «el todo saber» al que Lacan se refiere) ha tomado el relevo de las viejas narraciones que orientaban la subjetividad y ha hecho posible el lanzamiento de una pluralidad de objetos que poseen una propiedad perfectamente calculada. Por una parte, y como el autor lo se?ala a cada paso, est?n dise?ados conforme a un creciente conocimiento de la subjetividad.

Agatha Christie’s Complete Secret Notebooks brings together for the first time Secret Notebooks and Murder in the Making, two volumes that explore the fascinating contents of her 73 notebooks. This includes illustrations, deleted extracts, unused ideas, two unpublished Poirot stories and a lost Miss Marple.When Agatha Christie died in 1976, aged 85, she had become the world's most popular author. With sales of more than two billion copies worldwide in more than 100 countries, she had achieved the impossible – more than one book every year since the 1920s, every one a bestseller.So prolific was Agatha Christie's output – 66 crime novels, 20 plays, 6 romance books under a pseudonym and over 150 short stories – it was often claimed that she had a photographic memory. Was this true? Or did she resort over those 55 years to more mundane methods of working out her ingenious crimes?Following the death of Agatha's daughter, Rosalind, at the end of 2004, a remarkable secret was revealed. Unearthed among her affairs at the family home of Greenway were Agatha Christie's private notebooks, 73 handwritten volumes of notes, lists and drafts outlining all her plans for her many books, plays and stories. Buried in this treasure trove, all in her unmistakable handwriting, are revelations and details that will fascinate anyone who has ever read or watched an Agatha Christie story.Christie archivist and expert John Curran leads the reader through the six decades of Agatha Christie's writing career, unearthing some remarkable clues to her success and a number of never-before-published excerpts and stories from her archives. This book features Agatha's original ending of her very first book, The Mysterious Affair at Styles, painstakingly transcribed from her notebooks. It also includes a number of short stories from the archives reproduced in full, including the unpublished The Man Who Knew, How I Created Hercule Poirot, and an early draft for a Miss Marple story, The Case of the Caretaker's Wife.

The definitive companion to the POIROT novels, films and TV appearances.‘My name is Hercule Poirot and I am probably the greatest detective in the world.'The dapper, moustache-twirling little Belgian with the egg-shaped head, curious mannerisms and inordinate respect for his own 'little grey cells' has solved some of the most puzzling crimes of the century. Yet despite being familiar to millions, Poirot himself has remained an enigma – until now.From his first appearance in 1920 to his last in 1975, from country-house drawing-rooms to opium dens in Limehouse, from Mayfair to the Mediterranean, Anne Hart stalks the legendary sleuth, unveiling the mysteries that surround him. Sifting through 33 novels and 56 short stories, she examines his origins, tastes, relationships and peculiarities, revealing a character as fascinating as the books themselves.
